I'm so glad he mentioned not being able to work with music on. A friend of mine said it's his favorite thing to do whilst programming, and I cannot for the life of me focus on what I'm doing when I try it. Maybe early stages of programming are not a good time to multitask. I also like the part about procrastinating, because it's very similar to my thought process. I often don't feel that I'm getting much done because I have so much on my mind and it leads me to procrastinate certain things much longer than necessary. Of course they get brought up within my community and I have to address them eventually.
scientifically, music doesn't really help you concentrate more. you just feel more motivated. working/studying without music is always better for concentration.
I do listen to *calming instrumental* music while programming sometimes. Sometimes to ease me into the process and sometimes to isolate from other noise/people talking. If the music is not calm i get too excited and can't really get in the flow. If the music is not instrumental (has someone singing) i get distracted by the lyrics. So it's either calm intrumental or silence. Silence works great too. I can only suspect if you are listening to pop-songs/the tv while doing something that thing is not really mentally demanding... Or you are just wasting your mana (a.k.a. mental energy ;)
I could watch and listen to Larry Wall indefinitely. The gift this man has given to the world is pretty incalculable. Like his charisma. To know what he knows ... wow. Thanks for this video.
1.Do the thing u love because u will not stop until it achieve!!! 2. If u feel it hard not the challenge, U not really love it!!! 3. U can put the things u love altogether, programing with listening music? 4. Share your idea with other, or even teach them. It's gonna sharp your sense. 5. If u are tired , exhausted, it's ok. to take some rest because of 1. That what i got from him. 👍👍👍
5:43 "Basically, there's so much stuff flowing past on the internet now, you have to let most of it go and I've grown accustomed to the process of not worrying too much about the stuff I'm not getting into because the important stuff will come back around"
I just read the Wikipedia article on hipster, and reflected on what I've observed. I do agree most hipsters seem to be posers, trying to fit in with a group that all agree on being different from what they perceive as mainstream, just for the sake of being different and the ego boost that provides them.
Well and (speaking as a novice) in theory, if you learn the underlying CONCEPTS of programming, migrating to another language should be a relatively simple matter of learning some different syntax and perhaps slightly different ways of doing things in some instances, if I understand correctly.
despite the divorce between "interpreter" and "compiler" only as two types inlanguages... serioulsy overcoms such paradigms ... learn to think in instances / entities .... perl must be an instances languages wich is translates to binary code only from ONE process / executable file handling the code ... the result will be an entity as a running process or a file(executable) as a dump or an space in memory ... think out side any box the was defined through those who wants you to think limited... it is time to form e.g. : P ⁂ (Perlsterism) ... ONE executable translater wich inhabits ALL methods to result in an entity / instance of the programmed code
I can relate with the music bit. The music has to be complex enough otherwise I just start listening or analyzing what all the different instruments are doing :p
How to code: choose the language that suits you best. It is preferable to start out with a higher-level programming language with relatively simple syntax. Perl, Python, and certain BASIC dialects are good suggestions.
One could argue nerds are closely related to hipsters, but reject the notion that being "hip" is important :P Main traits they have in common is free-thinking and an indifference to mainstream pop culture. A big difference between nerds and hipsters is excessive irony and sarcasm, and placing value on things that are not (yet) mainstream just because of that. From experience on the net, you will find many nerds with hipster traits, but in general nerds are more genuine in their indifference :)
After lots of experimentation, I've found that certain genres tightly fit the type of coding I'm doing. If I'm solving a complex problem or coming up with an algorithm I need late baroque, early classical. If I'm rushing a feature I need fast pace electronic music. If I'm implementing grunt level stuff that takes long I use this weird trippy music from a genre I don't even know. Took me long to settle into these choices.
there is really a part of me that wants to learn programming but when i stare at my computer doing programming i just go blank. might start pro gaming. lol
Being lazy in a productive manner? check. Drug of choice caffeine? check. Procrastinate somewhat productively? check Inpatient while putting in loads of time? check Night owl? check Microwave chef? check Loads of facial hair? check what more steriotypes have i left out? If i only wore glasses... :P
But being a hipster is all about fitting in with the hipster culture as far as I have understood the concept? It never seemed very free-thinking to me, just about giving the impression of free-thinking. I may be completely wrong, though.

How to code like Larry Wall:
1. Buy that shirt.
I have a shirt not at all unlike that, only it's blue.
I've had it for a while.
mikie72
Then you can now code like Larry Wall! Go! Start coding!
+Lazic B. You can't. He bought all of them.
+Lazic B. Is a good shirt.
Great shirt for eating pizza.
His mind is a priority queue.
A shared p queue among 100 threads.
Larry Wall is like the absolute poster child of the stereotypical old school programmer. IOW, he's my hero. :)
This dude looks like he just woke up from the 70s.
Almost like the Perl language itself.
I kid, kid!! :0
antred11
Perl language?
kevinalvarado
Yes, what about it?
***** wwwhhhhaaAAAA!
kevinalvarado its a computer language like C,C+,C++,C#
such a deep personality, learned a lot from this 6 mins interview with such a great man.
whey I saw your comment, I just returned to the Video instead of reading comments, thanks.
Lol
How come I expected the developer of perl to look like this...
Man, this dudes sense of style is on fleek.
What’s up Urban Dictionary?

It's not procrastination if you do something different, but productive instead.
I do listen to *calming instrumental* music while programming sometimes. Sometimes to ease me into the process and sometimes to isolate from other noise/people talking.
If the music is not calm i get too excited and can't really get in the flow. If the music is not instrumental (has someone singing) i get distracted by the lyrics. So it's either calm intrumental or silence. Silence works great too.

I feel i'm in the 80's lol
I could watch and listen to Larry Wall indefinitely. The gift this man has given to the world is pretty incalculable. Like his charisma. To know what he knows ... wow. Thanks for this video.
Spending time with Perl is on my to do list, but I feel less guilty about procrastinating after listening to Larry now.
1.Do the thing u love because u will not stop until it achieve!!!
2. If u feel it hard not the challenge, U not really love it!!!
3. U can put the things u love altogether, programing with listening music?
4. Share your idea with other, or even teach them. It's gonna sharp your sense.
5. If u are tired , exhausted, it's ok. to take some rest because of 1.
That what i got from him. 👍👍👍
I love the last thing he says about not worrying about stuff he's not getting to. So true.
I wonder if before crashing to bed, his wife throws an exception
5:43
"Basically, there's so much stuff flowing past on the internet now, you have to let most of it go and I've grown accustomed to the process of not worrying too much about the stuff I'm not getting into because the important stuff will come back around"
He seems like a guy I would enjoy drinking coffee with . . . in my messy office . . . late at night.
"I get going about the time my wife crashes and goes to bed" me too dude. me too. also mad respect for that shirt, shit is dripping af
Lol, I'm procrastinating doing my programming work by watching videos about procrastinating doing programming work.
His shirt reminds me of a Perl program I saw my co worker wrote one time ...
This is a golden comment. And he sure does like to talk about stew a lot.
"then the thing will deprocrastinate itself at an appropriate time" that's next level object orientation right therr
These videos are extremely underrated
This guy makes me feel less stressed out about my future in computer science.... him and this vodka.
how did your future in computer science go?
neilyoooo2 yeah, how did it go? are you a programmer now?
5:28
I loved that part
I thought i was the only one, I once saw a keynote speech of John Carmack for 3 hours before starting my project lol.
larry wall is awesome..................great human-being and a great programmer ever...............
yeah......................
I agree with you on this. Perl is like a Holy Bastion of exploration.
well said and it's still and understatement yet I couldn't have said it better
the last thing he said is so true
I LOVE him. Wish I could be like him :(
I've got all of those and took the glasses check.
I just read the Wikipedia article on hipster, and reflected on what I've observed.

Actually, parts of the perl compiler are written in Perl :P
despite the divorce between "interpreter" and "compiler" only as two types inlanguages... serioulsy overcoms such paradigms ... learn to think in instances / entities .... perl must be an instances languages wich is translates to binary code only from ONE process / executable file handling the code ... the result will be an entity as a running process or a file(executable) as a dump or an space in memory ... think out side any box the was defined through those who wants you to think limited... it is time to form e.g. : P ⁂ (Perlsterism) ...

I can relate with the music bit. The music has to be complex enough otherwise I just start listening or analyzing what all the different instruments are doing :p
Even the video is pixelated like it was capture in the early 70's.

this is fun to watch
I listen to Megadeth while coding.
Thought you said "cooking"
Brandon Kejick So you imagine him chopping meat or something? Xd
Shirt is batik style.... Indonesia
jajaja mañana, mañana. I'm Mexican but these are so funny.
It's the all-knowing 'stache. It told Wall to create Perl.
Hi, I'm the Perl programmer from Antarctica.
NICE SHIRT BRO!!!!
This man's genius is of a different nature...
I Love your Look Man !!!
Huh, no wonder I'm such a Perl-hound. Sounds like Larry's brain works similarly to mine. 🙂
Nice shirt
"how do you stay alert during the night?" i was really expecting him to blurt out "cocaine!"
This guy, he is my kind of guy.
how can anyone work with music playing
After lots of experimentation, I've found that certain genres tightly fit the type of coding I'm doing. If I'm solving a complex problem or coming up with an algorithm I need late baroque, early classical. If I'm rushing a feature I need fast pace electronic music. If I'm implementing grunt level stuff that takes long I use this weird trippy music from a genre I don't even know. Took me long to settle into these choices.
4:05 yep
Mind is assigned blown.
I'm a night person too.
+hjkl me too , but i dn't like this
+hjkl 2:44 a.m, do i qualify?
when was it recorded?
there is really a part of me that wants to learn programming but when i stare at my computer doing programming i just go blank. might start pro gaming. lol
Why do I get the vibe that he lowkey doesn't just like coffee from the way he said that
Larry thinks with Bubble Sort :)
intravenous coffee = the dream
I have exactly the same problem with music.
Fooowwwooosh!!
Now I know how to code like Larry Wall. Sweet Jesus, you should charge for this stuff! :D :D
you just described me...
Being lazy in a productive manner? check.
Drug of choice caffeine? check.
Procrastinate somewhat productively? check
Inpatient while putting in loads of time? check
Night owl? check
Microwave chef? check
Loads of facial hair? check
what more steriotypes have i left out?
If i only wore glasses... :P
Ballad of Ricky Bobby "I dont know what to do with my hands"
he was gonna say "Read the fucking manual"
He bubble sorts his priorities.
But being a hipster is all about fitting in with the hipster culture as far as I have understood the concept? It never seemed very free-thinking to me, just about giving the impression of free-thinking. I may be completely wrong, though.
same to me
Regular mustache and goatee beard. All the way round and up in the middle :)
I can't work _without_ music...
mañana! mañana!
Everything but night owl, waking up at 6 for about the fast decade will do that though.
"Oh I think we have a Perl programmer in Antarctica." lol
@interstellarwonder I think so too. I am a night owl, and I do a great deal of dreaming.
what a badass!
I still need the facial hair DDDD: damn you stubble
Why did he use the *Spanish* variation of the song Tomorrow? That made no sense to me...
Best. Comment. Ever.
how do I Perl? ;-;
I thought this was from the 70's
*Smiles
Handle bar mustache?
I listen to rap music while I code.
maxwell10206 rap isn't music
Robert Paulsen Well, that's like.. your opinion, man.
***** *codes .txt files*
***** I can't image a programmer coding to Lil' Wayne
You guys clearly have no idea what Rap is outside of Lil' Wayne, Nicki Minaj and the like, do you?
that fits me rather well xD
I wanna be Larry Wall

... I want to be Larry Wall.
stereotypes. But i am with you on the checklist!
pepsi is everywhere god!
Wife goes to bed..
Dude starts coding..
No Sex???!
wtf does this mean in a config file then coz this is what i looked up lol r_api 0
I guess I'm finding common ground here. hahaha
This guy looks like the 80s serial killer Joel Rifkin.
Ken lol shit just looked that dude up, he does. There's probably several deciles worth of difference in IQ between them though
Not something I really want to do.
Only the wife of Larry Wall culd crash :D 1:18
No try catch surrounding her
+Informaticage NJP Edgy
+Informaticage NJP I actually had a drink with her at YAPC::Vienna a few years ago. She's a nice person and as smart as her husband.
Big fan of Larry. But he has spawned more bad programmers (perl) than any other computer scientists. :)
larry wall has been a nerd for so long that he now looks like a hipster
